Athletic IDs: The athletic venues for recreational activities in Alumni Gym & Berry Center are controlled access facilities and anyone who wishes to use them must have a current student ID, Fitness Membership, FLIP class card, or will need to purchase a day pass. For information about purchasing a membership, call 646-8106, or see the web site below under "Memberships."

Each gym user, including children, must have his or her own ID. All users must show their membership ID or other pass to the monitor each time they enter the gym and at each venue, even if the monitor knows them. Admission is not based on whether we recognize our gym users. Anyone who does not have a membership or pass should check in with the front desk monitor at the Wheelock Street entrance.

Your Fitness Membership ID, Dartmouth employee ID with fitness sticker or Dartmouth student ID is yours alone, and may not be used by anyone else to gain access to the gym. We do not provide free day passes to fitness members who forget or lose their IDs, or whose cards are damaged and not working. Please retrieve or replace it before coming to the gym.

Occasionally ID cards do not work as they may have been damaged or updated incorrectly. We will do all we can to figure out what is wrong and correct it. If you are told your card is damaged and needs to be replaced, you must replace it at the Card Office before you use the gym again.

Bicycles:Bicycles must be parked in the bike racks provided near the gym, not left leaning against the building, or attached to railings. Bicycles, roller blades and skateboards are not allowed in the building.

Children:Children must also have gym memberships or day passes to use the gym. They are not included in their parents' membership. Children under the age of 18 may not purchase a day pass or gym membership for themselves, but must have a parent purchase it for them and sign the waiver. You must be 18 years or older to use the Fitness Center (and get a PLUS membership).

Children under the age of 13 may not be in the gym alone, but must be supervised at all times by a parent or guardian.

No child age 5 or older may go into a locker room or bathroom of the opposite sex.

Policy Regarding Minors: Out of concern for the comfort and safety of people under 18 in our facilities and to protect yourself from being misunderstood

Do not use your smart phone or any other equipment to take pictures in locker rooms, showers and bathrooms.

To the greatest extent possible, disrobe and dress discreetly and remain covered when walking around.

Wrap yourself in a towel when entering, using and exiting the sauna

Do not engage in any sexual activity or behavior that could be perceived as sexual

If you are concerned about the safety of someone who appears to be younger than 18 whom you observe in athletic facilities:

Intervene if you feel safe doing so

Immediately go to the Athletics Facilities Office, Room 119

If you are concerned about any kind of sexual or physical mistreatment of a child, under New Hampshire law you should report to the New Hampshire Child Protection Services. To make a report, call between 8am and 4:30pm, Monday - Friday, at 800-894-5533 (in state) or 603-271-6562 (out of state). Then call the Hanover Police Department, at 603-643-2222 and Dartmouth College Safety & Security at 646-4000. If you are not sure that you should make a report to New Hampshire Child Protection Services, you may call Safety & Security first.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE EXPECTATIONS COULD LEAD TO REVOCATION OF ATHLETICS PRIVILEGES AND/OR LOSS OF ACCESS TO CAMPUS

Day Pass:Anyone over 18 may purchase a day pass to the gym at the front desk inside the Wheelock Street entrance. The cost is $10.

E-mail:We use e-mail to communicate with our gym members and update them on changes in facility schedules, building problems, or renewal information. Gym members should be sure to update us any time their e-mail address changes. For non-members, we post notices on the blitz bulletin and on D2U, the Dartmouth Daily update.

Entrance to the Gym:Gym members may use their IDs to come in the back door of the gym. Gym members are not to bring in non-members through the back door. All non-members must enter through the Wheelock Street entrance and check in at the front desk.

Facility schedules:Athletic facility users should be aware that the athletic venues may not be available at all posted times, that college athletic facilities are scheduled with intercollegiate teams, student activities, and special college events receiving priority, and that all schedules are subject to change without notice. (See also "E-mail"). One or both pools may be closed periodically for state-required regular pool maintenance, swim meets or other activities. The Leverone Fieldhouse, where members may use only the track, is closed for two weeks in March for the Auto Show and Trade Shows, for the December interim, and may be closed for extra varsity team practices. The squash and racquet courts in Berry are periodically closed when we have special events in Leede Arena, or for squash tournaments. The athletic facility schedule is posted around the gym, on the web, and e-mailed to gym members. Please go to our website at http://dartmouthsports.com, click on Facilities, and then Schedules.

Zimmerman Fitness Center:The Zimmerman Fitness Center, which contains free weights, nautilus and aerobic machines, is on the third floor of Alumni Gym. To use the Zimmerman Fitness Center, you must be over 18 years old, have a Fitness Membership, or day pass. FLIP class participants may use the Zimmerman Fitness Center only during a class that works out there.

Fitness Reimbursement Program

Dartmouth College Employees: All benefits eligible employees enrolled in any of the three employee Anthem health insurance programs or in the retiree insurance plan are eligible to receive up to $200 reimbursement per year (per subscriber or per family) from Anthem toward the expense of purchasing a fitness membership or taking part in a FLIP class.

Non-employee gym members should check with their health insurance plans to see if they are eligible for a fitness reimbursement program, and we will do our best to help them fulfill the requirements.

FLIP Class Participants: FLIP participants will be issued FLIP class cards good for the term when they enroll in a class. They must present this card to the front desk monitor at every visit. Once enrolled, FLIP participants may also purchase a special pass for the interim period between classes. See the FLIP office for more information.

Please do not use the bathrooms for changing.
